	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text <p>All bullying is insidious and there can be no place for it in our schools. In recognition of this, the Government is funding a number of initiatives to help schools tackle bullying. The Department for Education is currently providing £4million to anti-bullying organisations to help tackle bullying in schools and, in conjunction with the Government Equalities Office, we recently announced a new £2million fund to support projects which specifically tackle homophobic bullying. We have also produced case studies and advice to help schools understand how best to identify and prevent bullying, and support children who are being bullied.</p><p> </p><p>Teachers play a critical role in tackling bullying, and ensuring the safety of their pupils. The Teachers’ Standards, which must be met by all those awarded qualified teacher status (QTS), and which inform teachers’ annual appraisals, require teachers to “establish a safe and stimulating environment for students, rooted in mutual respect”. Teachers must also “manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment”. Providers of initial teacher training, headteachers and teachers themselves are best placed to determine the types of training and development that will help teachers to meet the standards, responding to their particular local circumstances.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Mr Nick Gibb question first answered 03/12/2014 18:00:13 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The first Secure College will open in the East Midlands in 2017. This will be the first of a new generation of secure educational establishments which will put education at the heart of youth custody. If successful, it will inform our vision for the future of the youth custodial estate across England and Wales.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government has recently completed a public consultation on our plans for Secure College Rules. These Rules will provide the statutory framework for the effective operation of Secure Colleges. We have proposed a Rule on education which would set out a requirement for Secure Colleges to establish a minimum of 30 hours of educational activities for young people each week. This, in addition to wider activities, will help to equip young people with the skills, qualifications and self-discipline they need to lead lives free from crime. We will respond to the consultation in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 03/12/2014 18:02:33 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The number of deaths in prison by apparent cause is published in the Safety in Custody statistical bulletin which is available at <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/collections/safety-in-custody-statistics" target="_blank">http://www.gov.uk/government/collections/safety-in-custody-statistics</a>.</p><p>Reducing the number of self-inflicted deaths in prisons is a key priority for the Government. We are working hard to understand the reasons for the recent rise, but, as is the case in society at large, there is no simple explanation with complex and individual reasons behind any suicide.</p><p>We have dedicated resources providing support every day in prisons and have created a specialist team to help share good practice as part of our strenuous efforts to learn from each death.</p><p>Young adults are a particularly challenging and vulnerable group, and that is why we have commissioned an independent review into the deaths of 18 to 24-year-olds in prison custody.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 03/12/2014 18:01:22 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
